Celebrating 30!

This year we celebrate our 30th Anniversary! We want to thank all our former and current clients, staff, and collaborative design partners who helped shape LaQuatra Bonci Associates over the years.

By facilitating a collaborative process and weaving curriculum into the site and landscape features, Penn State’s Stuckeman School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture has elevated its profile with innovative facilities supporting the goals of evolving design pedagogy.

Visionary

From our successful vision planning process, LBA was asked to continue work with The Westmoreland Museum of American Art helping facilitate the lead architect selection, define a dynamic design direction, and select artists.

Passionate

Beginning with a benchmark project for HOPE IV, through the recent kickoff for Phase III of Summerset at Frick Park, to Summers Corner, we continue to build a legacy of designing urban neighborhoods and towns that build community across the United States.

Transformative

Places like PNC Triangle Park and Pack Square Park have become defining moments of civic pride, illustrating the power of design to shape and improve the quality of life in an urban environment.

Resilient

By embracing sound ecological principles, the Environmental Center at Frick Park will repair a damaged and lost landscape while achieving both LEED Platinum and Living Building Challenge status.
